There is, at least in the Catholic tradition, explanations for pretty much every teaching. From the doctors of the church (the most famous being Augustine), papal encyclicals, and ecumenicla councils. It is all very philosophically and scientifically grounded. You might disagree with the reasoning or a base assumption (natural law) but there are explanations. Normally it has to do with how your action effects yourself and others. In this case objectifying someone causes you to perhaps treat them poorly and prevents you from seeing the inherent dignity in them as a person.
I’m not making a comment on this vs. violence because I think that’s a much more cultural thing in America and I haven’t looked into the Church’s stance on portrayal of violence, if it has one.
